Decentralized renewable energy (DRE) can ignite a wave of opportunity for MSMEs as well as households in rural and peri-urban areas, and accelerate the GDP growth in rural India, which in turn may further boost the GDP growth of India beyond 8% per year. In fact, DRE has a market potential exceeding US $50 billion (INR 4 lakh crores), according to the Council On Energy, Environment And Water report (CEEW).
